hmm, I'm running the same version on Windows XP. I can confirm the
additional task in the task bar, which is very strange. The new task is
called Inkscape.exe in the Task Manager. However, my text is responding
appropriately when I change the font. The problem I have is that the font
name in the dropdown box reverts back to the previous value, but the text on
the screen behaves as expected.

Is your text highlighted or selected when you change the font?
